Just got into my first month midst.Had severe breakout over the past 5 days,a good example of the starting flaring for tane i guess Pictures taken on the 24th day into Accutane.

5 big red ones on the left -_- 4 medium sized one on the right. (my acne is always worse on the left side)

Okay heres the pics for 24th day into 20mg tane. (dont have any for post tane , sorry)didnt post any for forehead/nose/chin because they cleared like a yr ago and didnt have much problem with them till now.

was on an 8 month course..115 pounds, 20 yrs old..had hormonal mild/moderate but persistent acne..a lot of under the skin bumps around the chin area and cysts (1-4 per month)..month 1-2: 40 mgmonth 3-5: 80 mgmonth 6: 40 mgmonth 7-8: 40 mg every other day^that's to the best of my knowledge.. kindof all runs together after awhile..but i think that's about accurate.. anddd my skin has been clear ever since

Today is my fourth day on Accutane (second time taking). I took a full course of it 3 years ago and it worked wonders, but the crap returned after a year I stopped. I am so hoping it'll end this crap once and for all this time round.

I remember posting here once in hopes of one day posting my own before and after pictures. Well, the time has come. I have been off accutane for a month now and my face is doing a lot better. I still got a lot of red marks but zero pimples, cyst. Now that I have short hair I feel that my red marks show more but accutane is the best thing in the world! I am 100% happy and 120% satisfied.

Helllloooo Everyone!!!! So my story in a nutshell...started getting severe acne at 20ish was put on accutane at 21 in late february 20mg's daily got bumped up to 40 mg's daily in April and then got bumped up to 80mg's daily in June and have been on 80mg since. Pretty sure I'm finishing up my last month and I can honestly say going on accutane was the BEST decision I ever made (I really wasnt going to take it I said no the first time my derm offered it to me) but honestly the pictures speak for themselves...my side effects were minimal obviously dry/tight skin and lips some redness in my skin and eyes. but other than that just CLEAR skin I'm actually getting compliments on my skin now which is crazy to me....Accutane literally gave me my life back, I'm right back to the old outgoing, flirty, friendly, happy Kristina and I'm loving it....if you are reading these posts and considering acctuane DO IT...you will be soooo happy you did!! But good luck to all of you on your journey to clear skin!!!!

xoxo

Whether it's the sunshine, Whether it's the rainDoesn't make a difference 'Till you complainWhether it's the water comin' in from the roofDoes it piss you off that you're not waterproof?Whether you fall Means nothing at allIt's whether you get up .. It's whether you get up

4. You will probably suffer emotional effects that may/may not be permanent. I didn't realize how anti-social I was till I got off it.

This site helped me in unimaginable ways and helped me cope with some rough times in my life. I thank all those people and would like to let them know that you changed some completely anonymous persons life.

On the other hand,

There are some people on here who accelerated my skin issues by spitting out pseudoscience bs every chance they got for god knows what reason. The internet says alot of things. Throw in a couple words like collagen, exfoliation, laser and you'd be surprised at how easy it is to convince people. Believe me. I was one of them.

This probably isn't what Dan wants to hear, but I suggest the people of this site take into question Dan's motive. I'm gonna exercise my right to free speech (AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!) cause Dan's regimen is a scam. I used to have pretty mild acne until my face turned bright red and broke out into nasty cystic. You'd never guess what caused it either. NO. NOT DAN. Innocent little dan would never try to make a buck off a teenager with low-self-esteem thats desperate for options. Or the B5 supplements reviews that all tell tear jerker stories and how the B5 cleared it all up in days. Or the "i quit masturbating" guy that says his acne is cleared up, then for some strange reason you see him back on the boards trolling in like 3 days. Benzoyl Peroxide is basically slowing dissolving your skin and putting that much on your face is completely fucking stupid. Dan acts like he's your friend so you will buy his stuff. If you ask me he's a pretty brilliant guy, but so was *moderator edit* (Hahahaha they kind of look alike too).

Sorry for the real talk guys. I'm sure thats gonna make you ban me. I hope you don't so that maybe I can change one persons mind from splashing piss on there face while Dan's gestapo fully encourages it (Note to Dan and loyal followers: Make sure you make them buy your product WHILE there splashing piss on there face). But if you do ban me, I don't really care.

Hang in there guys. You'll understand why I wrote that wall of text when all this bullshit is over. Accutane is a trully legit drug. GET IT NOW.

hey everyone, im new here. just started my 3rd round of acutane since age 16 (im 21 now) thought i'd share my before and after picture from 11th gradei made this picture back then. i know i know, please excuse the popped collar....http://img.photobuck...tch/bigdiff.jpg

and this is me on my 21st bday (feb 5, 2010)http://hphotos-snc3....0_4145863_n.jpg the redness in my face is from the excessive amounts of alcohol since then i all of a sudden just started breaking out like crazy. face back neck chest even some on my stomach so im back on the tane'. hopefully ill learn some tips on making the side effects less miserable. i've started getting dandruff for the first time which is making me really really self conscious. so as i browse the forum im sure ill find out about great products to help me out.

Hey guys I was on Accutane for 6 months, 40 mg/day. It cleared my face, back, and chest up completely and I couldn't be happier with the results. I've been off it for about 4 months now, and I haven't had a breakout since maybe my 3rd/4th month on tane. So basically I've been clear for at least a full 7 months. I still have some redmarks left over, but they're fading pretty quickly.

I had very mild side effects throughout my course. The only issues I had were dry lips, and slightly dry skin but both side effects were very easily kept under control.

Interests:Animals, self learning acoustic guitar, I love coldplay! As well as my friends and family, and I like to help people wherever I can (especially on acne.org, yahoo, TSR etc) Just you're typical 6 foot tall girl who loves Chris Martin from Coldplay, any person who is ginger, on top of anything to do with food and/or christmas! :D
